Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to include as many as 60+ young children, youth and adults in our project. Cast participants showed 95% of their ability to creatively express themselves. We plan to keep an accurate count of cast members we have for this project. We look forward for post-performance feedback from community members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Yes we achieved are artistic goals. We found that using many children in the production paid off. We split lead children roles with two actors. We had great turn out for our auditions and casted 90% of those auditioners. We had lower than average attendance. Our largest audience was 150. We predicted that our "Golden Ticket" marketing campaign would draw more attention, but not as many community members were interested in the show. We had an overall attendance of 1000 community members who came to see our production. About 30% showed they have experienced this art of the first time.
